What happened?
I was checking out logseq recently, and honestly the best thing was being able to link to new nodes simply by typing brackets, something like . This is way better than what I currently have in org-roam, where I have to escape insert mode, press SPC n r i, type the name of the link, and then press C-c C-c, then enter insert mode again. Now, linking to nodes by putting their names inside of brackets works in org-roam, but only of the nodes exist, but if they don’t, nothing useful can be done.
What did you expect to happen?
It would be nice to have similar functionality to logseq. I know there has actually been a lot of discussion around this feature, but those were in 2020, i.e. before org roam v2. I was just wondering if it is possible.
Although if it is not, the next best thing to do is to bind org-roam-node-insert to something that doesn’t require escaping insert mode (which I learned, is M-SPC m m i by default,was hoping to set it to M-SPC only), which should be easy. Same thing can be said for org-capture-finalize. But I was wondering if there was another solution. I realize that I don’t really have a need to type in anything to a note while I’m typing on something else, so would it be possible to have org-capture-finalize run automatically after I create a node using org-roam-node-insert?
Steps to reproduce
- Type some text with double brackets in a roam note. It will show existing nodes, but won’t create a new one.
